The Pig & Apple in Monmouthshire

Amazing place and amazing food. Well done

Amazing burgers and chips best in the area by far definitely worth the trip

The Pig and Apple is a really nice little restaurant on a farm in the beautiful hills above Monmouth. Although they sell burgers and fried chicken, you wouldn't really call it "fast food", it's just simple food cooked and presented excellently. They've got a waiting list as long as your arm - you need to book weeks in advance and it's easy to see why. Well worth a visit, great for families, couples and groups. Car needed though...They also do take away! Update: Amazing sticky chicken! That sauce on the chicken is ridiculously good - they could honestly sell it in jars!....in fact, if the owners read this, please do that! :D

Outstsnding food and generous portions! Definitely recommend trying to reserve indoor seating though! Despite being end of August it was cold and blustery out on the picnic benches. Maybe consider bringing you own blankets if you are visiting (or suggest outdoor propane patio heaters may be a good provision for vendor in the future?).

Great food. Great service. Brilliant

We hadn't been able to book a table when we rang ahead, but were told we could sit outside. When we arrived we went into the Silver Circle gin distillery which is adjacent. We could order our drinks and food from the Pig & Apple and before the food arrived we were invited in to the main building as they had a table unexpectedly available. Our food was delicious, although we definitely over ordered. The Moldovan Pinot Grigio was great and very reasonably priced. Will.return for sure..

Great food again! Unbeatable - haven’t found anywhere that come close. Thank you guys!

We came here as part of a pre-booked event and it really didn't disappoint. There was live music and plenty of people around to create a lovely afternoon/evening. I'd heard that the food was fantastic and it really was. I had a sticky chicken burger and it was sensational. I then washed it down with a few cocktails 😄 The drinks on offer were also very varied. Loads of choice. This was my first time visiting and I will definitely be going back. Apparently you have to book early to avoid disappointment.

The food does taste good but the staff were unaccomodating, told us we had 5 minutes to decide to order then gave us 20 minutes to eat it. We had young kids including a newborn and come from an hour away. We picked an outdoor area because it was warm but the chickens kept jumping up at the food on the benches, and deficated on the table where our food was. Someone else's dog was chasing the chickens and knocked my daughter off the edge of the bench. People were practically stood watching me feed my baby. Awful experience and won't be coming back.

Very underwhelming, felt more like a cafe. Burger fell to bits and not much taste.

Been waiting for a table for a while as you are just so popular, now we can see why! Hands down the best burger we have ever had and we eat out a lot! A little wait for the food to come out but it was worth the wait! The quality and flavours were fantastic. 100% recommend, will definitely be back!

I have been trying and failing for TWO years to book a table here and my lucky day came this week when I managed to secure a takeaway slot. Me and my partner trekked for 2 hours and then devoured the most amazing food in the car park in less than 40 minutes. I feel compelled to write my first ever review after finally eating at The Pig and Apple. Wow. We had one beef burger and one chicken burger and we both came to the conclusion it was the best we’d ever had. Not only was it packed with flavour and dripping in sauce, at no point did ours burgers lose their structural integrity in our hands. The perfect ratio of sauce, bread, and salad. The truffle fries are some of the best we have ever eaten, packed with flavour and not stingy on the portion size at all. My partner usually eats enough for a small village and we still ended up with leftovers. Also very nice eating in the car park opposite a field of cows! If you are lucky enough to get a booking here, EAT EVERYTHING. I will definitely be coming back, hopefully in less than two years.

Managed to get a table early on a Thursday evening as the place always gets booked up over the weekends. Definitely worth the wait! Absolutely lush burgers served by friendly and attentive staff.

Awesome restaurant, great service and amazing food 😋

Our son treated us to a meal at The Pig and Apple after seeing the reviews. Would highly recommend it to other families and friends. The food was good quality, nice and hot and really filled you up. A good selection of beef, chicken and veggie burgers. There were some desserts on offer but we were too full for those.

Probably the most awesome burger I’ve ever had, and great fries also. A little remote and actually on the farm in an old barn, but this adds to the experience. You need to book months in advance.

Fabulous food and great service. Always joy coming here. I had baby blue burger, my partner chicken and my son a plain Jane.

Cannot, I repeat, cannot beat this place for burgers.

Nothing fancy just warm , welcoming , clean & friendly plus burgers are the best 🤤

Before booking, I had enquired about hie long we had the table for, and was told 1 hour 45 minutes. Unlike an earlier booking I had on a Friday evening, this information wasn't given in the confirmation email. We were not told any different when we arrived at the restaurant. At 4.33pm, we were approached by a waitress and told they would need the table back in about 5 minutes - although frustrating, as this is less time than we'd anticipated, it wasn't the end of the world as we were almost finished. 2 minutes later, the same waitress appeared and told us we had to leave as the table was needed. As well as being quite unnecessary, the second interruption came across very rude and made us feel most unwelcome. Not at all professional. After finishing our meals, the table was cleared...we were not offered dessert or asked if we would like anything else. My son called the waitress back to order dessert - she took his order, then walked away before I had chance to order mine. Surely common courtesy would say that if 1 person in a party is having dessert, you check with the others also. Although the food was amazing, the service on this occasion was not at the level I would expect, and put a bit of a dampener on the occasion.

First time visiting this place. A very beef-tastic experience. Tasty food, only downside was the bacon slightly over cooked and tough to chew. Drink prices are very reasonable too and lots of options to choose from. For the price, you can’t go wrong. Standard price of a fast food outlet these days is £10 for a meal, so why not pay a little extra and visit a great place like this and enjoy some tasty, juicy dripping burger goodness. Also great to support local business and not those pesky food chains! It certainly will not break the bank! Overall, a very nice venue, great service from the staff, very cosy and warm, great for couples to have a meal and quiet chat… or families alike too! Would I return, most definitely. A solid 8/10 overall.

amazing food ,good prices and great staff can’t wait to go back soon 😋christmas menu was amazing if you haven’t visited it’s a must you won’t be disappointed 👌

Absolutely, stunning food. Excellent service.

Absolutely amazing place to eat, local farm. The food was amazing, great quality and the flavour, amazing.

It only took us 11 mins to drive here from Monmouth but I would have driven an hour and 11 mins. This is an absolutely “must visit”. Situated in a converted barn a few miles outside Monmouth I couldn’t believe we hadn’t discovered the Pig and Apple earlier. The atmosphere is great with the restaurant full when we got there, apparently it’s like it every day they open. The conversation is authentic with the use of recycled materials in a way you don’t get with town centre “rustic” restaurants. No matter how nice the surroundings it’s all about the food. I’ve attached some pictures, see for yourselves it tasted even better than it looked. Great value for money. We will go back again and again when we can get a table!

Booked lunch here as we were pumpkin picking locally and haven’t been since Covid. The food was very good, we had a blue cheese burger, buffalo strips, and loaded fries. Everything was superb 👌

If you haven't already been here & tried possibly the best tasting burgers ever then what the hell are you waiting for. Book a table, enquire about a takeaway or just blag your way & hope for the best. But beware... Once you've tried their burgers & speciality fries every other burger joint will seem second rate.

I can not thank the pig & apple enough for creating a lovely evening for such a large group of us. Very accommodating and having to pre order set such ease for the large group to get there food with no issues. This was the first time I have ever been out for food and not one person out of 28, had a bad meal, we all had such delicious food. One of the best chicken burgers I’ve ever had. You can see why you can never get a table!! A gorgeous secluded location and barn.

Fantastic venue and amazing food. So glad to have found somewhere that really does make an effort to source locally and create amazing food. Well worth a visit

Visiting Art in Penallt at Humble Farm and just had to try out this well recommended cafe. It did not disappoint. My blue cheese burger was amazing - lovely moist meat in a good bun with lashings of sweet chilli jam and runny cheese. My sister had the pork and apple burger and the unctious food was well worth a very short wait in great surroundings. Sticky fingers yes, but it was finger licking good. Sadly it is some distance from home so unable to pop back without planning a trip, but a great place, well set up and with an outside eating area for fine weather dining. The staff were friendly and efficient. The food is very well priced with one of these mouth watering burgers at around £8.50. The chips looked good but the man sized burger really didn't need trimmings. Would that it was closer to my home but I can always look forward to another day out, ensuring that I do so on a day when The Pig & Apple is open.

AMAZING ! Fabulous area, very relaxed, delicious food, great atmosphere. My children loved it here, they were entertained with the animals before and after food. Thank you so so much! We shall be back very soon.

28 mile round trip to find the Pig & Apple on the off chance that without booking we would get a table without booking, and we’re happy to wait. When we arrived (Friday 11/08/23) the place was closed, although it was meant to be open from Thursday - Saturday. Tried calling the mobile number on the website and a rather abrupt message advised that the number dialled was only for texts or contact them on Facebook! Further more there seems to be an issue with the booking system on the website as seem to be booked for the next millennium!

Absolutely delicious burgers and loaded fries. Be warned the portions are huge, so arrive hungry. Deserts looked good too but no room (managed to refrain from taking any home). Lovely and clean premises, no sticky tables here. Thoroughly recommend, yum yum yum!

I booked here for my husbands birthday as we've heard nothing but good things about the burgers, and he's a burger lover. I was a bit worried being vegan that I wouldn't be able to have a good meal here but I worried over nothing. I messaged ahead and was told they do vegan options, on the day the staff were great, friendly and knowledgable. All the vegetarian burgers could be made vegan! They even had vegan cheese so it wasn't just removing any animal products they actually had alternatives. I had the homemade mushroom and butterbean burger it was lovely but the highlight for me was my side of salt and pepper smiley faces! Sooo good! and cooked to perfection! I'm still craving them now! My husband had the Korean BBQ fries and the Jess' loaded cluckin' and really enjoyed both! Very generous portions he couldn't finish his. Only negatives which I feel the food and service overrides is there was a little mix up when we arrived, our table was given to a table who had arrived before us with more guests than they book but it was quickly sorted. Also no vegan dessert, not that I could have fitted it in! Overall very enjoyable, great to have options for vegan in a place you wouldn't assume would and to have 3 options is even better! We will be booking again.

Have dined at The Pig & Apple on numerous occasions. The burgers are always great, the dishes are consistently good, the staff are all great. The portion sizes are very generous. Be warned, you have to expect to book many weeks in advance, buy keep an eye on the restaurants Facebook page. I

Absolutely brilliant, loved this little spot. Great service, quirky location and decor and just a fab dinner out. Best burgers ever yum.

Probably the best burgers I've ever had .... and the best loaded fries. Good choice eof drinks and we were even persuaded by the super helpful staff to have a takeaway dessert (we were too full to have dessert at the restaurant) Well recommended if you like burgers 🍔

Amazing food, staff so helpful and welcoming. An absolute gem of a place, the burgers are stunning, best sticky chicken burger around mmmmmmmmmmm

Wow! What an amazing place to eat. Not a massive menu but what you get is insanely good. Probably the nicest burgers we have ever eaten. Amazing location, really quiet and relaxed. Burgers and portion sizes are huge. If you have an of the fries I would suggest to share, unless your starving!

I have been here around 5 times now. The place is brilliant in every way. The restaurant is on a farm so as you’re taking the short walk to the restaurant you’re greeted with all the farm smells which I personally thought was brilliant &...

Googled places to eat in Monmouth. Drove through the most beautiful sights on the way with lovely views. Arrived at a farm and made our way to the restaurant, the smell was outstanding, fully booked but fitted us in outside and to say I’m glad...

Wow wow wow !! If u haven't even here yet u really need to. U best book soon as its a hell of a wait to get a table. Well worth it tho. The food is UNREAL. Honestly the best burger I've ever eaten. Their spicy chicken strips are another level. Their fries are light and crispy and full of flavour. The place is immaculately clean, all the servers are amazing. Really well priced too. I'd give this place 6 stars if I could and would recommend to everybody. One of the best meals we've had in a very long time. Get it booked guys, u will not be disappointed.

We were lucky enough to get a takeaway slot at this popular restaurant whilst staying on the farm (they are deservedly busy so pre-booking is essential). Wow! Both my husband and I devoured our burgers, which were of an extremely high quality. I had the...

Love this place, best burger and freshest chicken ever

So glad we tried this place. The food is absolutely delicious. Between us we had 4 different burgers and everyone thought they were the best they ever had. All tasted fresh and hot. The loaded fries were a good addition. The chilli jam was a...

Wowwowow Not only the best burger I've ever eaten, one of the best meals I've ever eaten full stop. The quality of beef is very noticeable. Even the fries were incredible and so crispy. Seriously, if you haven't been here yet, this place NEEDS to be on your list! What a hidden gem. The price was very reasonable as well. Cheaper than Five guys but miles better.

Wow this place is a hidden gem, staff are amazing and the food is exceptional. This is the best burger bar I have been too and the sticky Chinese chicken burger was without doubt the tastiest burger I’ve eaten. Fresh ingredients, laid back chilled vibes...

Great place Friendly helpful staff great service thanks Sasha Amazing food

Stunning burger, everything good quality & fresh. Condiments also tasty, really good value for money. Our little ones loved wandering around the farm after to see the animals. Definitely worth a visit 👍

A family birthday meal at the Pig and Apple which was recommended by my daughter. The food was fantastic, great tasting and excellent quality. Service and atmosphere was great. Really good value restaurant. I will be back for more. Thank you

Great Bugers. You can make your own to because I don't like Salad in bugers. Really good. 100% reccomend.

Absolutely awesome that's it just absolutely awesome. There's really nothing more to say but I have to leave a minimum of 100 characters.

We've heard such good things about The Pig and Apple yet have never been. Booked online which was really simple and also received a reminder WhatsApp the night before, great idea to avoid no shows. The venue is gorgeous, really well decorated on the right...

The chicken burgers were fantastic. Excellent taste and good value. We ordered a takeaway and despite the fact that they were extremely busy the food was ready by the agreed time. We will order again soon.

Wow - what a place! Rustic, fun and vibrant. The food is just amazing - I had the chicken burger with bacon, cheese, fried onions. The chicken was thick, juicy and the coating was so tasty. All cooked to perfection. Cannot wait to return. Staff...

My favorite place ever. I can't have a burger anywhere else now as it can't live up to the pig and apple standards!

A sign of a good business is when we arrived and asked someone where the entrance is and they said follow me I’ve driven 20 minutes to get here On entering we encountered a warm friendly atmosphere. We were a bit apprehensive about taking our...

Yet again another family meal out & yet again just as awesome. Service is like the food both amazing & yet again our eyes were bigger than our bellies so doggy bag required. Can't wait to return to this fantastic restaurant.

This place is a lovely relaxing place, the buggers are outstanding 👌.

We now live nearby and thought we'd get a nice takeaway for us 2 parents and grown up daughter. You need to book orders at least previous day, and their confirmation email was unclear and needed 3 emails to confirm what time we could actually...

You definitely need to visit if you are in the area. So many great burgers to choose from, they all look so amazing when they come out of the kitchen. Defo need to book a table but for the great food it's worth the wait....

We stumbled upon the pig and apple on social media a year ago (as we’re always looking for the best burger) and we were not disappointed. The setting is on a farm which was a lovely touch and even a couple of visits from the...

Outstanding Outstanding Outstanding Great place, great concept, loved it, well done, super place and really enjoyed. Probably the best meal of our week.

Took a while to get here, but enjoyed so much once we did. Wow from start to finish. We will be back just as soon as we can.

We all loved our time at the Pig and Apple! The side of the barn was open this time and we were able to watch the sunset - an added bonus! The food was delicious and there was lots of it! This time we had...

Had a pig and apple burger for lunch when visiting Humble by Nature. Best burger I have had in a long time. Great friendly service as well.

Did not know what to expect… but OMG food, service and setting deserve *****. Will be going back soon

The location in a working farm was quite cool. Also big kudos for allowing dogs inside. I found the food OK. Fries were dripping in oil, the burger buns were different but in the end didn't complement the burgers. Burger was juicy and tasty. Service was OK. I think they were just opening and struggling to get going. They were nice though. Worth the experience but wouldn't necessarily come back for food regularly.

Wanted to visit for a while after following on Instagram! It was definitely worth the wait! We had the sharing platter which was an ideal way to try a beef and a chicken burger! They were both so tasty, the chutney on the Pig &...

Top notch burger dining. On a farm. With piggies. Brilliant.

How do I start?….. WOW……would be a good first word. And that’s an understatement. The food here is simply incredible. Hands down. My and my girlfriend came here for a date on the 28th May and we were completely blown away by the Pig &...

Excellent service. Great location. Located (literally) in the middle of a working farmyard down a quiet lane in Monmouthshire. Having said that, really easy to access. Arriving on the edge of the farm buildings, you make your way past the edible garden and into the middle of the farm buildings, many of which contained livestock in varying stages of growth, from young piglets, through goats to a full on mature herd of cattle, complete with farmyard noises and smells, it may be a bit of a suprise for city folk. The restaurant is located in a barn, with a suitably rustic decor, wood burner heating and is very much what you see is what you get. P&A works on two sittings per night, it's well worth (and good manners) to arrive early. Outside seating is available. The menu is varied(meat and Vega/veggi), although visiting a farm burger joint then eating veggie is anathema to me! Each to their own. The burgers are all generous and very well priced, with a new range of extras. Be very careful when ordering - it's easy to overdo it! Drinks are a good selection of beers wines and ciders with a local flavour. There are desserts for the brave! Basically, a great value, mid priced quirky rural destination venue, probably the best burgers in the area, worth a visit.

Oh my God. Not a fan of burgers. Won't step foot in a mac donalds or burger king on this fact alone. After one trip to the pig & apple I am converted. The food is amazing and really good quality. I've since been 4...

Fantastic Food and service, well worth the visit. Buttermilk chicken was fantastic!

This is a very busy restaurant, so we were very lucky to get a time slot for takeaway service at relatively short notice. A very rural location, but easily accessible from Monmouth where we stayed for a few days. We pre ordered our meal and...

Visited the restaurant for the first time last night and was not disappointed. Staff were lovely and friendly and food was amazing. We sat inside which had a lovely atmosphere and was nice and warm with the wood burner going. My wife and daughter shared...

Amazing food and wonderful people running the place, easily one of the best places to go if you're hungry. Prices are really good too!

Excellent food and service, I'd recommend a visit

We ate in the restaurant late afternoon and were warmly welcomed on arrival. Jess is a great host and delivers just the right level of service. The burgers were amazing and did not disappoint in any way. We would certainly recommend this venue and the...

Had takeaway burgers for 2 adults and 3 children. The best burgers we’ve ever had! Mix of chicken burgers and beef and all amazing. Great meat, lovely buns and accompaniments Great chips Already planning our next visit

Fantastic meal tonight with great service from the 2 young men on front of house. Food was as tasty as it's been for the last 18 months as takeaway but lovely to eat in the restaurant again! For quality food at a reasonable price would...

One of the best tasting burger takeaways in south wales.

On our trip to Wales, we ordered takeaway from here as they had our sort of menu. They are only open a few days a week and the ordering process is a bit odd (ie you need to order quite a while in advance and...

Love the ethos of this place and the mushroom burger was exceptional. Lovely place for dinner when on holiday in the Forest of Dean.

Best burgers ever! We found this delicious place by chance when searching Imaps for somewhere for dinner, we saw the photos and just knew we had to book! I can’t even put into words how amazing the food was, we both had the Jess chicken...

Great food but expensive for a burger! And The restaurant is still being renovated. Staff are happy and friendly . I would return . Get the place finished Kate! It's part building site at the moment.

We are return customers and every single time the food has been outstanding. We’ve recommended the pig and apple to numerous friends who have all raved about it afterwords. We’ve not yet had the chance to dine in but have spent many a night treating...

By far our best takeaway!! The team never disappoint and always keep it fresh with their weekly specials! I just wish I had a picture to share but we attack the food the moment we get home and the picture is always the after thought...
